    hi Angie, I just joined today too. I've been up and down for 14 years since I had my children and I'm currently on the "up" side, so here goes another try at loosing some pounds before summer! I think this site is going to be great, we can encourage each other and I know for me that if I have to account for what I eat and how much exercise I get, I'm going to try a little bit harder! Well, good luck to you - you can do it! And if you want to add me to your friends, go ahead!

    Hello and welcome to the site. I have been struggling with motivation for a long time, i find this site to be very helpful. have been on for about 2 weeks now and it really does help you track what you eat and how much you exercise. If it was not for this site, i probably would not be forcing myself to exercise so much and watch everything i eat. It really makes a difference to see it in print.Good luck!!

    I am new to this too! I am the mother of 3 little girls all under the age of 4, the youngest being 16 weeks. I can't take being this over weight anymore and my doctor recommended that I look at bariatric surgery. That really scared me so, here I start in my long journey of becoming healthy!

    Hello. Have been using this site for about a week now. So far so good. I like the sinked web and app feature...as somedays one or the other is more convienient to enter in. I am a 36 yof, mom of 2 beautiful kids but need to lose the 10-15# that came with the craziness of being a mom to young kids...I wont call it baby weight...I usually lose that at ~ 6 mo, but then start to gain it back. Wish me luck

    I agree with Doug, this site forces me to be more accountable with my food choices and excercising. I am looking forward to reaching my weight loss goal this year. I have been on this site for over a week and it has been extremely helpful. I am learning so much about how to make good food choices.
